Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. An information processing device, comprising circuitry configured to receive a captured image obtained by imaging a remote controller including an operation device and an operating body positioned to operate the operation device such that the remote controller, the operation device, and the operating body are shown in the captured image; receive an operation signal transmitted from the remote controller in response to an operation on the operation device by the operating body; and associate the operated operation device with the operation signal in accordance with the captured image.

2

2. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is configured to recognize the operated operation device based on the captured image, and to associate the recognized operation device with the operation signal.

3

3. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is configured to generate a virtual remote controller, and to cause the virtual remote controller to be displayed on a display screen, and the virtual remote controller includes a virtual operation device that corresponds to the operation device associated with the operation signal and is operable.

4

4. The information processing device according to claim 3 , wherein an arrangement of the virtual operation device in the virtual remote controller is identical to an arrangement of the operation device in the remote controller.

5

5. The information processing device according to claim 3 , wherein an arrangement of the virtual operation device in the virtual remote controller is different from an arrangement of the operation device in the remote controller.

6

6. The information processing device according to claim 3 , wherein the virtual remote controller is configured with only the virtual operation device.

7

7. The information processing device according to claim 3 , wherein the circuitry is configured to cause the virtual operation device to be explicitly indicated.

8

8. The information processing device according to claim 3 , wherein, when an operation on the virtual operation device is detected, the circuitry is configured to cause the operation signal to be transmitted, the operation signal corresponding to the virtual operation device in which the operation is detected and being associated with the operation device.

9

9. The information processing device according to claim 8 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to transmit the operation signal.

10

10. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to generate the captured image.

11

11. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to receive the operation signal.

12

12. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the operating body is a finger of a user of the remote controller.

13

13. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the remote controller is a handheld remote controller.

14

14. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the operation device is a button of the remote controller.

15

15. An information processing device, comprising: circuitry configured to receive an operation signal transmitted from a remote controller in response to an operation on an operation device included in the remote controller by an operating body; perform communication with an external device capable of recognizing the operated operation device based on a captured image obtained by imaging the remote controller and the operating body positioned to operate the operation device such that the remote controller, the operation device, and the operating body are shown in the captured image; and associate the operated operation device with the operation signal based on a recognition result of the operated operation device transmitted from the external device and the operation signal transmitted from the remote controller.

16

16. The information processing device according to claim 15 , wherein, when the circuitry receives an instruction signal indicating the operation device, the circuitry transmits the operation signal associated with the operation device indicated by the instruction signal.

17

17. The information processing device according to claim 16 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to transmit the operation signal.

18

18. The information processing device according to claim 15 , wherein the processing unit further performs a process based on a result of detecting a state of a control target that is controlled by the remote controller.

19

19. An information processing method performed in an information processing device, comprising: receiving, using circuitry, a captured image obtained by imaging a remote controller including an operation device and an operating body positioned to operate the operation device such that the remote controller, the operation device, and the operating body are shown in the captured image; receiving, using the circuitry, an operation signal transmitted from the remote controller in response to an operation on the operation device by the operating body; and associating, using the circuitry, the operated operation device with the operation signal in accordance with the captured image.

20

20. An information processing method performed in an information processing device, comprising: receiving, using circuitry, a recognition result of an operated operation device transmitted from an external device capable of recognizing the operated operation device based on a captured image obtained by imaging a remote controller including the operation device and an operating body positioned to operate the operation device such that the remote controller, the operation device, and the operating body are shown in the captured image; receiving, using the circuitry, an operation signal transmitted from the remote controller in response to an operation on the operation device by the operating body; and associating, using the circuitry, the operated operation device with the operation signal in accordance with the recognition result.

21

21. A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing a program that, when executed by a computer, controls the computer to execute a function of: receiving a captured image obtained by imaging a remote controller including an operation device and an operating body positioned to operate the operation device such that the remote controller, the operation device, and the operating body are shown in the captured image; receiving an operation signal transmitted from the remote controller in response to an operation on the operation device by the operating body; and associating the operated operation device with the operation signal in accordance with the captured image.
